Halloween {A Hauntingly Magical Celebration Revealed}

Fasten your corsets and lace up your boots!  Put on your top hats and antique black suits!  Curl your mustache and iron your hair, don't dust off the spider webs, why, they add such flair!!!  (The 2009 event is officially LIVE, right here)

 

Halloween 29

It's time to creep up the spiral staircase, to the ornately carved tiny door, that holds a secret keyhole to another place from long before…

A place where beautiful black daisies grow, with a hint of a royal plum hue…

Where potions are concocted…

And chocolate mushrooms flourish in the mysterious Fairytale Forest

It is in this place where beloved ghosts are free to roam, and tell tales, hundreds of years old.  This is the time of the year, where the ghostly characters start to slowly open their eyes, and think about stretching their legs…

Time to slowly let them out of the glass carnival case…

While ideas of Halloween begin to trickle in, there are magical pumpkin groves nourishing the lives of precious white ghost pumpkins.  Pumpkins who are preparing to be cut from their vine, for All Hallows' Eve celebrations…

This is the moment that I have chosen to share an announcement that has been stewing & bottled up for almost a year.  I am ghoulishly excited to share the date for 2009's Halloween Fête!  The date, October 17, 2009.  Giving plenty of time to share all sorts of treats before Halloween itself…

Last year was beyond magical, remember the fun we had right here?  We get to do it again!!!  BWwwwahahahhahaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!  (cackle cackle)

Here is this year's flyer (enlarge it and copy it) for all of us participating to use on our blogs, and to spread the word to our friends 😉

      

Halloween 2009 A Fanciful Twist FLYER

And here is the button  – at the end of this post, I will share the "rules" for participation. (rules???)

                                   

Halloween 2009 Button

This is the perfect reason for me to open my secret box, housing a very special pair of foot adornments, perfect for broom riding… (I wish I had all my foot treasures here in the country, but more than half live at the city house)

      

Join us for Ghoulish Pleasuers 12

Anyhow, these beauties arrived last month, and I dare say, Chie Mihara is one of my faves!  So, perhaps you can use this celebration as an excuse to bring home a new pair of Autumnal/Winter foot loves?  I am going to have to start selling gumballs out of my Gypsy Theatre Wagon 😉

But, I am one happy pointy hat wearer.  Even a witch likes herself a pair of fab broom riders, every now and then…

 

Join us for Ghoulish Pleasuers 11

Oh me, oh my…   Do they fit?

      

Join us for Ghoulish Pleasuers 7

OH YES!  Perfect for riding the clouds on my brooooooom!

I saw these little guys in the Anthropolgie catalog and thought and thought – and then, when I decided to buy, they were sold out.  Thanks to Revolve Clothing, I found a pair… 

Speaking of shoes, make sure you put your hand up to the attic rafters, and give the little ghosts a hand climbing down for the spooktacular season…

So whattaya say?  Ready for another Halloween Extravaganza????  I can't wait!!!! 

 

All Hallows EVE!

The shop is full of Halloween treats, and there will be more to come, I hope!!

Wondering what to do if you sign up? 

If you are signing up to participate in the Halloween Celebration, all you have to do are 4 things.

1)  Share the flyer and/or the button on your blog as soon as possible and link to me.  I will then add your name to the "Halloween Partiers" list in my LEFT hand side bar, and link back to you.  (This list will replace my regular blog roll up to a week after the party)

2)  On the day of the party, October 17th 2009, please make sure to post a Halloween Party post of your own, on your blog, linking to me.  Other partiers will be visiting you on that date. 

3)  IMPORTANT – On the day of the party, after you have your own Halloween blog post up and running, please leave a comment at my Halloween party post including your "Actual Party Link."  I will use this information to create an archive list of everyone's actual parties.

4)  Blog hop with the other partiers on the day of the event and have a hauntingly ghoulish blast!! 

Note:  Please make sure you post a party post on October 17th if you signed up.  Last year several people did not do this, and lots of partiers e-mailed me to ask why they were finding some blogs without a party post.  I didn't have an answer. (if you sign up and later find that you can't make the event, please let me know and I will remove your name from the list)

Now, let's get out our cauldrons my friends!!!!  The witches are already getting anxious!

 

Halloween 33

I know it seems a little early, but two months is just enough time to do everything on my side of the party ;)  And, of course, time goes by so quickly…

Leave a comment if you'd like to sign up for the party, or e-mail me: VanessaValencia@aol.com.  You have from now until the party to sign up.  Advance notice abound 😉

See you sooooooooooon!! 


 

🖤🖤🖤  ,V


ps:  I just followed a link to Craft Nouveau's Big Crafty Blog List for 2009, who knew? How fun!!!!

pss:  PLEASE be extra clear if you would like to be added to the party list 😉  You can join at any time, but if you want to be added, please say so ;) 🙂

psss:  I had been adding everyone to the party list as I received participation notices, however, my list was only showing ten people – that has been fixed 😉 ;)   THANK you for joining!!!

    Me little toes are wiggling with delight
    as I’m sure it will be a magical night.
    Filled with scary ghost stories
    and faded old dories (I’m sure you’re wondering what a dori is…hey me too!!!
    and things that go bump in the light,
    I mean night.
    Let me think if I’ll be around
    when the bell tolls 10, I’m sure I’ll be found.
    What am I saying? I don’t rightly know, but, maybe those shoes would fit on my toes ;-).

    I would love to join your event, sign me up! 🙂
    I have already posted about it on my blog.

  101. Vanessa,
    I’m so excited to see you hosting this grand party again. I would love to participate and be added to the list.
    PS I love shoes and show storage! Fabulous.

  102. tinker says:

    Congratulations, Vanessa, on being included in both the Crafty List, and on the magical article in Artful Blogging! Those shoes are the cat’s pajamas – you should definitely be able kick up your heels and rock around the clock, on your broom in those babies…The Witch of the East probably wouldn’t have even taken a second look at Dorothy’s slippers, if she’d had a pair as cute as those.
    p.s. I will have to wait till it gets closer to that time, to know if I’ll be able to join the party – but even if it turns out I can’t fly in on my own broom – I’m looking forward to seeing the magic though this crystal ball! xo

  103. Jennifer says:

  273. Lori says:

    Oh, I Love parties! Please sign me up! I added the button to my blog and now I need to be added to yours. Not sure if I did it right. When you click on the button on my blog, it does bring the visitor to this blog. Also, should we decorate our blog for our Halloween visitors? Are we suppose to offer blog candy? I’ve only done one party before and that was almost a year ago! Any help is appreciated. Thanks!

  274. Lori says:

    I LOVE parties! I added your button to my blog. Are we supposed to decorate our blog for Halloween? Should we offer blog candy? Just curious as I’m not too used to blog parties. I’ve attended one and that was awhile back. BTW, my blog is more scrap related than anything else–is that okay? Thanks for your help.

  275. Colleen Hunt says:

    I am bare impressed with the article I have just read. I wish the writer of afancifultwist.typepad.com can continue to provide so much productive information and unforgettable experience to afancifultwist.typepad.com readers. There is not much to state except the following universal truth: Everything is directly or indirectly related to the number 5 I will be back.

  301. You just made Halloween look so real. The shoes are sexy. and so you are.. 🙂

  302. New Jordans says:

    Very Useful information , this is both good reading for, have quite a few good key point.

  303. Air Jordans says:

    Thank you for all the great posts from last year! I look forward to reading your blog, because they are always full of information that I can put to use. Thank you again, and God bless you in future.

  304. The new line is absolutely stunning! I have been so entertained by your blog, It’s very beneficial for me and it’s filled with information. keep smiling and take care!

  305. Air Jordans says:

    Beautiful post. How can we say that feminism has done its work until each of us can walk on the street alone without fear, annoyance, or embarassment?

  306. SewWoodsy says:

    LOVE your blog! I’m 100% in love with all things Halloween (if you go to SewWoodsy.blogspot.com you’ll see for yourself). Hope to be apart of your party!

  307. Do you have any hints for taking good pictures of nails? I know it has a lot to do with bad lighting in here but all I’m getting is blurry shots when i try to capture the designs I try. What setting works best, and what’s the best alternative to sunlight?

  308. Hi , can my site exchange links with you?

  309. Mike says:

    I actually first thought the flower was a spider. Spooky! I love the witch ordainment’s. Where can I get something like that?

  310. Halloween or Hallowe’en (a contraction of “All Hallows’ Evening”), also known as All Hallows’ Eve,is a yearly celebration observed in a number of countries on October 31, the eve of the Western Christian feast of All Hallows (or All Saints).
